setup I currently show 100 items per page with smart compose which is a rather new feature conversation view alone and my inbox is set up to unread first and no markers and finally my chat is off and unread message icon is on I don't use canned responses because I use toxify instead Gmail trick number 1 setting up aliases I start with this one as it's connected to you obtaining a new email address for web for actors Alice's are simply your new email address that you want to connect to your Gmail rather than switching inboxes back and forth jima allows you to easily select which email address you want your emails to go from to add a new alias click on the gear icon to open up settings and select accounts and import in send mail as section click add another email address a pop-up will open you will enter your name and your your email address and click next step here you have to provide your SMTP settings if you're a web for actors customer your SMTP server will be CS 1005 web host box.net your username is your email and your password is whatever you said or what was sent you click Add Account and you will be asked to verify the confirmation code so now check your email it might take a minute once you get it copy the code and paste it into the provided field and click verify that's it now if you could compose you will have an option to select your new email address in the front field Gmail trick number two turning off the chat if you ask me not only does the Google Chat get in the way of my labels many times it's buggy and shows old messages in bold as if they were unread not to mention it's yet another distraction from doing the task at hand well it's really your call if you want to keep it you can turn it off by going to settings then chat then clicking chat off and save settings but if you are going to keep it consider moving it to the right pane you might do so by clicking advanced and scrolling down to the right side chat click enable Save Changes and here you go now your labels are always unobstructed and speaking of like both Gmail tricks numero tres labeling everything I love labels I love organizing and I love the fact that my inbox is always neat and I know where to find what I'm looking for labels play a huge role on that now that I added my actor er email I'm going to create a label for it as well I click more create a new label and since I like to keep my own sort with all caps I will enter 0-5 that actor er and click create and since everything I do has to be color-coded either ER will have a purple color so I hover over the new label click three dots and select purple now to assign a label to something in my inbox all I have to do is drag the label on to the email or drag the email into the label and boom it's labeled color-coded and I know exactly what the email is with a quick glass without even reading the subject line now if I choose to archive this email to go away from my inbox but it will still be accessible under the newly created label better yet if it's an email you want to get back to later you can right-click on the subject line and mark it as unread that will make the label title bold and add a little count number to decide Gmail trick number four filter with labels okay so labeling everything is all good but you don't want to label every incoming email right filters are super awesome as you can teach Google to handle your incoming emails for instance I love taraji and I'd love to hang out with her on the set of the Empire but I don't really want to see pricier emails in my inbox on daily basis my options are to hit unsubscribe or I can click on the three dots and select filter messages like this since this is related to subscriptions it will recognize the list so all I have to do is click create filter and on the next page select skip the inbox and applied label donations I will apply it to two conversations and hit create filter and now all emails from price you will be automatically hidden in my donations label and since we're on the topic of new email out all of the emails sent to actory are labeled accordingly so I can see what the email is before even reading a subject line so I do the same time three dots filter messages like this but this time I will set two to be my new email address and then I will still keep it in the Inbox I just want to label pre-populated so I applied the label zero five actor er and that's it now all new emails coming into this address will have a nice purple label and when I archived them they will all end up in their own folder Gmail trick number 5 undo send this is to be a gmail lab back in the day but since it was so popular wolf users they added it as part of your settings all you have to do is click the gear icon select settings and your undo sent setting will be here probably set to 5 seconds but I like to have it higher than that 10 or 20 seconds give me a bit more time to second-guess myself Gmail trick number 6 signatures on the same settings page you will see signature option as well and now that you've added an additional email address you can also create a unique signature to be added to each email so for instance I would like to add iid be calm is now the hub for all things actors it truly is Internet's actors database now each time I will response from my actor er email this
